CEDAR RAPIDS – Adam Haacke, age 26, of Riceville, Iowa, has been charged with one count of receipt of child pornography and two counts of possession of child pornography. The charges are contained in an Indictment unsealed on August 3, 2015, in United States District Court in Cedar Rapids.
The Indictment alleges that, between 2014 and May 2015, Haacke received and possessed child pornography.
If convicted, Haacke faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years’ imprisonment and a possible maximum sentence of sixty years’ imprisonment, a $750,000 fine, a $300 special assessment, and at least five years and up to life on supervised release following any imprisonment.
